Heptyl butyrate is an ester that is naturally occurring in fresh apples, plums, and babaco fruits. [1] It is the condensation product of heptyl alcohol and butyric acid . It is available commercially for use as bait in traps yellowjackets and wasps and is specific for these types of pests rather than honeybees and other beneficial insects. [ 2 ]
Butyric acid was first observed in an impure form in 1814 by the French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul.By 1818, he had purified it sufficiently to characterize it. However, Chevreul did not publish his early research on butyric acid; instead, he deposited his findings in manuscript form with the secretary of the Academy of Sciences in Paris,
Sodium phenylbutyrate, sold under the brand name Buphenyl among others, is a salt of an aromatic fatty acid, 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) or 4-phenylbutyric acid. [7] The compound is used to treat urea cycle disorders, because its metabolites offer an alternative pathway to the urea cycle to allow excretion of excess nitrogen.
Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods , and intestinal tracts or feces. [ 1 ]
